This short clip is from the film Hobart: Life in Australia, which was produced in 1966 by Film Australia and showcases locals and tourists strolling down Salamanca Place, enjoying lunch by the waterfront and witnessing the hourly Cat and the Fiddle clock display. You can also see the ferries delivering boatloads of people directly into the Hobart Docks, back when travelling on the Derwent was a popular form of transport.
The film was produced as part of a series for the Department of Immigration, marketing Australia as a destination for new migrants from Europe. It's been almost 60 years since then and Australia's smallest capital city has undergone significant changes. The trams have been removed, the city centre has been developed, and nowadays people visit the Museum of Modern and New Art instead of taking day trips to Cadbury's Chocolate Factory.
